Key result
A total of 128 genetic markers were positively associated with athlete status in at least two studies, including 41 endurance-related, 45 power-related, and 42 strength-related polymorphisms.
This review highlights the growing number of genetic markers associated with athletic performance, emphasizing the need for large-scale, multicenter GWASs to validate these findings.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Accumulating genetic associations with athletic performance warrant caution in application; leaves open confirmation via large multicenter GWAS.
Ahmetov et al. (2016) conducted a review in Athletic performance. DNA polymorphisms was evaluated. A total of 128 genetic markers were positively associated with athlete status in at least two studies, including 41 endurance-related, 45 power-related, and 42 strength-related polymorphisms.
